MSI GTX 660ti power edition vs gigabye GTX 670...

[Asus7950DCII]

i have done some research found no answers....

i wouldve got an MSI 7950 but ran out of stock (i live in israel so yeah)

i am actually comparing a 660ti to a 670 because its an MSI and its a power edition so its an overclocking engine, though im not so sure how the gigabyte 670 overclocks...

i like both overclocking utilities (Afterburner more though)

i must know what i shall buy

Btw my specs are: (just so you know it may be helpfull iguess)

Did you look at the reviews section? I'm positive that there a 660ti's and 670's in there for you to compare.

ercock from what i compared on battlefield 3 the 670 wins and all but how about against an overclocked 660ti power edition?
i also asked if the gigabyte 670 is a good overclocker and can reach or pass GTX 680 levels

 

[erocker]

Well.. a 670 can be overclocked to surpass an overclocked 660ti. So, it's a matter of finding a card that you want to pay the price for.

...and don't call me ercock.

i missed the e and the r
but i heard an MSI 7950 can surpass 680 and 7970 speeds when overclocked so can the GTX 670 from gigabyte do it because if it can im buying it.

...and again a 680 and 7970 can be overclocked to surpass their stock speeds. So the point of overclocking is moot.

But if you want 680 speeds and don't want to pay for it, get the 670. The Gigabyte cards are nice and have good coolers on them from what I read.

thanks erocker

[erocker]

You don't. Just let it die.

Good luck with the new card!
